These Nintendo Boxing Day Deals Are Still Running If You’re Ready To Switch It Up [Updated]

If you usually use Boxing Day as a way to bulk up your game library, there are a few deals for Nintendo Switch games that are worth your time. You can also snag some nice discounts on a few Switch controllers and accessories.

Here are all the best Boxing Day sales related to the Nintendo Switch that are still running.

Here’s where you can get a Switch bundle and an OLED Model deal

Looking to pick up a Switch during the Boxing Day sales? Amazon Australia is currently offering a Nintendo Switch bundle that includes the original console, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and three months of Switch Online for $422. That’s a pretty decent deal, considering a Switch goes for $469 by itself, and you’d be paying $560.90 all up if you bought everything separately.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence about picking up the Switch OLED Model, you can currently save $30 off the new Nintendo console. That’s not a huge discount, but it’s the best we’ve seen since the Switch OLED was released back in October.

If you aren’t too fond of the Pro Controller or want a more versatile option, 8BitDo’s excellent range of Bluetooth gamepads are also on sale. These are great alternative controllers, and some might argue that they’re better than the official Nintendo ones.
